Perpsective Notebook Outline

3 Governing Rules of Perspective

1.As objects recede to converge to vanishing points. 

2.As objects exist upon a Horizon Line. This is determined by the viewers angle of view and station point.

3.The convergence of objects will be dictated in 1pt, 2pr, 3pt, 4pt or 5pt perspective. We can observe and view objects inside a drawing/piece of art that are at different perspectives with different vanishing points.
